Water Damaged Crow #1 0

[JMcNally1973]

I have 2 Crow #1s- both first edition. They got wet about twenty years ago, and are all bumpy, and have some tears on the back pages. 

 

I am wondering if it is worth it to have them restored...

The short answer is “yes”

Moisture damage, depending on how severe can usually be pressed out. The small tears on the other hand are a completely different story and even if the books get flattened out perfectly, the tears are there to stay and will impact the grade and how visually desirable the books would be to another collector if your plan is to sell them. 
As usual, pics would be helpful but the above statement might be enough for you to make a decision. Good luck either way

It really depends on how bad they are.

I, personally, would not say that the short answer is "yes".
